The Style and Versatility of Metal Mesh

Metal mesh, a versatile design element with a rich history, can add a touch of character and elegance to your home in numerous ways. In today's blog, we'll explore how metal mesh can seamlessly blend functionality with style, enhancing the aesthetics of various spaces in your home.

The Traditional Charm of Chicken Wire in Home Design

Metal mesh has a fascinating history, with one of the earliest and most iconic forms being chicken wire. Traditionally used in agriculture, it has gracefully made its way into home design, contributing a unique character to various settings.

Beyond its original purpose, chicken wire has found its place in interior design, adding a rustic and industrial touch to homes. Use it to create decorative wall accents, stylish cabinet doors, or as partitions, introducing a sense of openness while maintaining a visual divide.

 

Metal Mesh in Kitchens: A Recipe for Style

In the heart of your home, the kitchen, this trendy material can be a game-changer. Its versatility shines as it combines functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Cabinet Door Inserts: Replace traditional cabinet panels with metal mesh to create a sleek, modern look while ensuring proper ventilation to your kitchen wares. The see-through quality adds depth and style to your culinary space.

Kitchen hood: Enhance your kitchen with meshy metals as a hood material. It's not just visually striking but also easy to clean, making it an excellent choice for a busy cooking area.

To bring these ideas to real life, we are currently working on a kitchen remodel in Omaha, NE. We are using metal mesh in the cabinet door inserts and kitchen hood in this in this project. Our clients decided to use metal mesh because they wanted an up-to-date kitchen that would stand the test of time. The two range wall renderings in the images below represent ideas we are considering using. Stay tuned for a later blog post that will feature a project reveal in the coming months.
